Thanks and welcome (again), Ednah, David & Obonyo,
Together with Limoke, Steve, Dennis and myself, I'm now counting seven.
Looking forward to our first new meeting.
More power to Wikimedia in Kenya!

I agree, Its a Challenge rather than an embarrassment to us. :-) What
matters is now for us to re-energize ourselves and re-align our objectives
to move forward.
Oliver, I am still calling on folks interested to join the User Group model
so that we can re-establish a membership based on interests and commitment.
Am assuming we will have to get new commitment from folks. So far we have :
Dennis, Oliver, Steve and I. when we get to 6, we can have our 1st meeting.
Yes?
Thanks for all the wishes Asaf, SJ and Tom

I don't think it's a shame, and shouldn't be a pain: organizing a bid is
a
lot of work, but is almost purely on-wiki, and
can be done by one or two
Anyhow, we should all be happy for our Tanzanian colleagues for having
found
the initiative and energy to do this. It's
not a competition. :)
Yes. You might even try working with them to organize a shared
regional event, if their bid for Wikimania itself doesn't work out.
They clearly have a lot of energy for bringing people and speakers
together around Wikimedia topics.
Like I said in my more formal letter, you must
not look upon the
expiration
of the provisional recognition as a blow or as a
failure -- it was
merely a
deadline expiring, for a formal process that
doesn't actually matter as
much
as it used to, because we now have these new
affiliation models, which
would
have been more suitable in the first place, had
they existed at the
time.
Yes. And once you have some projects underway, if they start to grow,
you may always reapply to become a Chapter.
